#4 McCain is rommancing the media again. Why would we ever again give the presidency to someone who needs the adoration of the press so much? And what is particularly sad in this case, he seems to be unaware that the media will surely throw him under the bus in favor of any Democrat.

#5 Benchmark = victory

If General Petraeus can get a good hand on the situation by this time next year, a good grass roots movement to draft him as the Trunk nominee would blow all these egos out of the running. Watch carefully as the pols maneuver to undercut the man and his mission for their own political survival now that they have laid their cards down.

#6 Good idea: let's give our enemies a playbook so they know what benchmarks they need to achieve to win.
